10.44 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) adopters apply significantly less insecticides and fungicides than nonadopters among grape producers. The paper “Environmental and Economic Consequences of Technology Adoption: IPM in Viticulture" [Agricultural Economics (2008) 18:145–155] contained the following adoption rates for the six states that account for most of the U.S. production. A survey of 712 grape-producing growers asked whether or not the growers were using an IPM program on the farms. State Cal. Mich. New York Oregon Penn. Wash.
